Hot Air Balloon Birthday Card

Here’s a fun birthday card I made using the Hot Air Balloon Bundle. For the heart shaped balloons I colored a piece of Basic White Cardstock with Stampin’ Blends, cut them with the die and then cut with the overlaying die using the same color cardstock.

 
 

The color combo I used to make this card is from my Inspiration Calendar - Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape and Lemon Lolly. You can get this calendar each month when you subscribe to my email list.
